Some words about myself

My
name is Nikolai. I was born in Archangel in the North of Russia. I moved to St Petersburg to receive my formal education at a military college. As a result I became the commander of platoon in Belaurs for 2.5 years during the Soviert era. After the collapse of the Soviert Union I returned to St Petersburg and civilian life.
Now I am a tour guide in summer and a graphic designer in winter and if you visit our wodnerful City I will be your best friend in St Petersburg.
My interests include the history of Russia and St Peterburg, the English language and web design.

St. Isaac's Cathedral

The cathedral was designed by the French architect Auguste de Montferrand in the middle of the 19th century. It took Auguste Montferrand 40 years to build it. The construction was started in 1818 and completed in 1858. St. Isaac’s is the fourth tallest 1 cupola cathedral in Europe. Its height is 101,5 metres/325 feet. It took 100 kg/220 lbs of gold to cover the dome.
